Translation
“Antara segala tīrtha (tempat suci), tīrtha yang paling utama ialah guru dan para tua yang patut dihormati. Antara segala yang suci, hati (batin) itulah yang lebih suci. Antara segala darśana dan pengetahuan, pengetahuan tentang hakikat tertinggi adalah yang paling mulia. Dan rasa cukup (santoṣa) ialah kebahagiaan yang tertinggi.”
